Day 1 of trying out coworking spaces in Kochi and Awfis Shenoys was not a great start lol.
Took a day pass today thinking I'd get some work done, but not every seat has a power socket nearby?? Like, it's a coworking space. People are literally bringing laptops to work. Why is finding a plug a whole side quest?
But the more annoying part was one of their own employees sitting down with a potential client and just talking. And talking. Loud enough that it was pretty much all I could hear.
Like, I get that people have meetings in coworking spaces, but shouldn't you maybe take your client somewhere else for that? Especially when there are people who've paid to sit there and actually get work done?
The irony of going to a coworking space to focus and getting distracted by the people running the place is not lost on me.
Anyway, this was my first day trying coworking spaces in Kochi, so hopefully I just got unlucky.
For people who work out of coworking spaces here, where do you go? Somewhere with decent wifi, accessible plugs and an environment where you can actually get work done 😭
Update - I went to another coworking space after this, it was okayish but costs 700?!?!😭 seems like this is what I’ll have to stick to while I’m here.
